1:04 am

he's the biggest damned turkey the white house ever saw !

1:04 am

REALLY!!!!

1:05 am

Uh oh.

1:05 am

it is to my eternal shame I gave that bunghole my vote

1:06 am

Who knew??

1:06 am

although the alternative was too frightening to contemplate !

1:06 am

I guess we are covering all the farm animals. we went from an ass to a turkey

1:07 am

(just wait till pugs has to go through airport security)

1:07 am

I honestly believe that's what got him all the independent votes !

1:07 am

Never happen - means she'd have to get a sitter for the fur kids

1:08 am

If the Republicans had come up with a viable candidate we might not be in this mess

1:08 am

indeed Met !

1:08 am

Dancing on your soapbox, Dear?

1:08 am

YES !

1:09 am

A lot of the republicans at the top are pretty scary too though..

1:09 am

a turkey? o.0

1:09 am

the whole damned party politics should be done away with anyway !

1:09 am

I agree

1:09 am

indeed ruru

1:10 am

Then they'd all have to tell us what they stand for - no waffling allowed!!!!

1:10 am

YES !

1:10 am

*testig which way the wind is blowing*

1:10 am

Though I'd vote for Jan Brewer in a heart beat

you just reminded me

I vote we overthrow the Government and start lopping off heads!!!!

1:11 am

slices a piece of cake for Metfan

1:11 am

YEA ! Bout time !

1:12 am

Thanks, ruru - I have half a cuppa joe to finish....

1:12 am

Hmmm -- I see Jan Brewer's maiden name was Jan Drinkwine...

1:12 am

not sure that would help met.. most politicians don't use their heads

1:13 am

I'll vote for Jan Drinkwine!

1:13 am

All politicians suck

1:13 am

but some far less than others

I ahve to reenrole to vote this weekend. Made of fail

1:13 am

Try launching one out to space!

1:13 am

Is that what Ross Perot meant?

1:14 am

They go into "public service" not to do the right thing or to make a difference, but to LINE THEIR POCKETS, HAVE A PENSION, AND LIFETIME PAID HEALTHCARE

1:14 am

Maybe if fewer people tried to assassinate th4 they wouldn't, Met ;o)

1:14 am

Or maybe if *more* people tried...

1:15 am

*slides over pug's soap box to Met*

1:15 am

really, if they want to balance the budget they could start by getting rid of the lifetime perks

1:15 am

right on pugs

1:15 am

yeah, but who's in charge of the money paid to the government?

1:16 am

and playing profit provider & police to the whole bloody F***ing WORLD !

We ahve to vote this weekend but I was taken off the role thus thinking screw you all not re-enrolling

1:16 am

I have 5 left and am stuck

1:16 am

They don't care about you, me, or anyone else - only about keeping their power and expanding it whenever they can

hi and nbt

1:48 am

how did you guess? :oO

1:50 am

*checking trash can* Did you come over and instal listening devices, or something?

1:50 am

sigh. just why do you allow yourself to play babble?

1:50 am

nope. didn't install them either..

1:50 am

why not? Babble's fun... :o/

1:51 am

it seems out of character I guess.

1:51 am

funner th4 most video games I could be playing...

1:51 am

and watching Indiana Jones isn't fun?!?!?!?

1:51 am

hmm. Guess it's not, according to my dictionary of "fun"?

1:52 am

Listening to Weird Al Yankovic isn't fun??

1:52 am

to who? o.0

1:52 am

oh yes.. you've mentioned video games...

1:52 am

so I guess not so out of character.

1:52 am

but why the no movies or later music?

1:54 am

don't like most music nowadays... and movies just because I don't ha4 access to th4 :o/

1:55 am

are you out in the total boonies?

1:55 am

boonies? o.0

1:58 am

boondocks. toolies.

1:58 am

.0

1:59 am

no, there're quite a lot of people here in Ottawa...

2:03 am

then why do you say you have no access to movies??

2:08 am

because I don't know of any theatres in the area, and don't have DVDs?

2:08 am

any clues for the ks yet

2:09 am

And my Internet sucks so downloading isn't really a viable option :o/

2:09 am

ka4 kn5 kv4

2:09 am

redbox??

2:10 am

thnks

2:10 am

I'm only here until the end of the year too, so any investment into subscription services wouldn't be so useful :o/

2:11 am

bye all - off to work back later

2:11 am

bye kazz :o)

2:12 am

oh? where do you go after that?

2:13 am

back to university

2:17 am

back to math...

2:17 am

but surely you haven't had bad internet and no theaters your whole life???

2:17 am

yaaaay I miss it so much uhh... no, I *do* watch some movies...

2:17 am

no... I don't know... no.. Jungle book? No.. Tarzan??

2:18 am

Especially foreign ones... Jungle Book yeah... but in Chinese :o/

2:18 am

are you chinese?

2:19 am

oh.. was it the one with John Cleese? Or was it a Chinese made film?

2:19 am

yep

2:19 am

no, it was the cartoon version

2:19 am

ah. So you have to do very well at everything so your mom will feel successful. I get it. ;-)

2:20 am

the one with real people is very good.

2:20 am

Your bum isn't in this grid either...

2:21 am

2:21 am

Hi Saph :-)

2:22 am

Tiny grid

2:25 am

I know, dfmc - myself and my bum parted company yesterday! It didn't hurt a bit!!

2:31 am

Did you have a o_er_t_o_?

2:32 am

Pardon?

Hooray for Soodle...

2:42 am

{{soodle}}

3:01 am

[[jellen]]

3:01 am

3:03 am

hello ruby!

3:04 am

just having a quick look in before I do what must be done todya

3:04 am

today

3:04 am

hello lile!

3:04 am

this looks like a nasty little grid

3:05 am

ruby!

3:05 am

the grid is small so maybe people do it, finish it and go and do life!

3:05 am

Lile!

3:05 am

hey dfm! hello!

3:05 am

it does seem a bit sticky...

Morning all how many are there today please

3:06 am

only 85 and hello, sandra

3:06 am

hi sandra, 85

3:06 am

hello sandra

3:06 am

life? dfm

A bit different to yesterday!

3:07 am

I was greeting Lile, ruby :o)

3:07 am

keep the balance

3:08 am

silly k letter being nasty there

3:08 am

the k isn't so nasty...

3:08 am

kv comes up not so often, but it's almost always that one

3:08 am

then it has its favourite babblers... kv eh?

3:09 am

ty dfm, isn't it a rye-flavored eau de vie?

3:09 am

what's the letter count dfm?

3:09 am

ka4 kn6 kv4

3:09 am

found it... ty!

3:09 am

*kn5

3:10 am

never had kv4 nor rye before, so I wouldn't know...

3:10 am

k' greyed.. thanks dfm!

3:11 am

there's never 16 h's.... is there???? :S

3:15 am

where'd everyone go?

3:16 am

I'm here and just passed half, but not nbt!

3:16 am

so... not so sticky for you ruby? that's good. :)

3:17 am

but can't find any more AND I almost never finish unless there are many clues in the chog!

3:17 am

fireworks

3:17 am

can I help with anything?

3:17 am

congrats saphyre

3:17 am

thanks

3:17 am

anyone need a clue before i go?

3:17 am

I'm ok so far thanks saphyre

3:18 am

but I never finish

3:18 am

this grid could be described as a little me5/16

3:18 am

ok - happy babbling everyone - nite :)

3:19 am

bye saphyre!

3:19 am

I was told yesterday that you don't list either, ruby.

3:19 am

stuck, lile

3:20 am

this grid is me4/5, then extend for 5.12 and 5.16

3:20 am

stuck

3:20 am

what with ruby?

3:20 am

wow, I couldn't get into the chog for several minutes, sorry, didn't mean to be rude

3:21 am

no, I don't list

3:21 am

don't worry, it's ok. I was worried you were getting very upset not getting any more words!

3:21 am

why don't you list, if I may ask?

3:21 am

nah, I'm used to it!

3:22 am

<-- hasn't listed for two days now o.0

3:22 am

but you are an advanced maths major, dfm, so smarter than the rest of us mortals! lol

3:23 am

<.< only in some things...

3:23 am

I don't see the point of listing; I get what I can and as long as I reach at least half, I'm satisfied.

3:23 am

impressive tho

3:23 am

That seems like a nice enjoyable and relaxed way of babbling, ruby

3:23 am

I got all my words from the chat...

3:24 am

as the rest of my life is so fraught, this is the one relaxed and pleasant time

3:24 am

and the chog is lovely and, very often, truly informative!

3:25 am

I'm sorry to hear life is fraught... and yes, this is a nice place to be. Very distracting tho'... or addictive...

3:26 am

bad news from the "dog lawyer" today, so far, the culprit is not even paying all of our expenses!

3:27 am

oh no! that is bad news

3:27 am

Nooo! really that is so unfair. French justice?

3:27 am

isnt' he /she responsible by law?

3:27 am

Hello all

3:27 am

hello lynxxx

3:27 am

now I have to give my husband a haircut, something I loathe doing!

3:28 am

see you later {{lile}}

3:28 am

lol! I know what you mean!

3:28 am

bye ruby! take care!

3:28 am

hi and bye lynxx

3:28 am

Oh dear. ruby has disappeared before I can offer pearls of wisdom.

3:28 am

French justice seems to be an oxymoron!!!!

3:28 am

hello haz!

3:28 am

I'll see you laer, haz, very upset!

3:29 am

Bye ruby.

3:29 am

morning Haz

3:29 am

Good morning/evening all.

3:29 am

This has to be one of the easiest small grids ever, provided you've paid attention to your Scottish words and your Russian alcohol.

3:30 am

not so good on either of those.... :(

3:30 am

struggling with the last few s's

3:31 am

one was a FISH!!!!

3:32 am

I know, sometimes you're so busy looking for the unusual that the normal words get overlooked.

3:32 am

there's the drink I started with when I was 14 :)

3:33 am

Ah, the Sean Connery version of the girl lead from Grease.

3:33 am

LOL Haz and greetings a;;.

3:34 am

lol!

3:34 am

hello fm!

3:34 am

Good morning, FM!

3:34 am

morning FM

3:35 am

oh - and the harvesty bringing in things...

3:35 am

Speaking of Sean Connery, they've recently discovered a painting of him, done when he was a life model at Edinburgh College of Art. I've no idea how they know it was him.

3:35 am

But it has fetched quite a good price, I think.

3:36 am

That would have been an interesting find Haz.

3:36 am

someone's bound to recognise it sooner or later, no?

3:36 am

haz, you can't ty anyone today, I'm afraid...

3:37 am

hi haz, FM, lyn!

3:37 am

Hello dfm

3:37 am

Look here (he's in a thong, you've been warned, but he looks better than Stringfellow) http://tinyurl.com/36ccelv

3:38 am

lol! the things I do on a tuesday1

3:39 am

Frenzied looking for Sir Sean. All in the interest of art appreciation, of course.

3:39 am

hmmm, doesn't really look like him, I agree. But then I didn't know him in those days. he looks better now!

3:39 am

what a cheeky painting

3:40 am

I'm assuming the artist made a note of his name.

3:40 am

aaagh!! LOL!.... the fireworks just went off and made me jump.... :)

3:41 am

hmmm, as you say how they could tell it is him apart from the provenance I guess.

3:41 am

Well done!

3:41 am

Congrats Lile!

3:41 am

Hows Spangle doing Haz?

3:41 am

congrats Lile

3:41 am

ty! :)

3:41 am

what IS happening with Spangle?

3:41 am

congrats Lile! :o)

3:42 am

She's okay, being treated for colitis to try to get her back to normal again.

3:43 am

awe, give her a cuddle from me.

3:43 am

lynxxx, out of the blue she's been having digestive upsets, mainly in one direction... Fasting for 24 hours helps initially but then back to square one once food is given again. Medication is being given to help reduce inflammation etc.

3:44 am

I don't want any clues or stats but are the o's normal words?

3:44 am

awww! sounds nasty, haz. Is there something in the food that could also be upsetting her?

3:44 am

But the wee tinker is adept at extracting the tablet from whatever it's given in.

3:44 am

oh dear, not so waggy then. Cuddles from me too. Hope she has a nice nest in the kitchen to make her feel better. I am very pleased you have inhouse doctor for her

3:45 am

They're normal in the wonderful world of babble, FM.

3:45 am

She'll bounce back, I'm sure.

3:46 am

You've been slipping treats into her gruel haven't you!

3:47 am

Ah, you've found me out. I'm getting soft in my old age.

3:47 am

have you tried pushing it into a lump of cheese

3:47 am

all the best with her, haz. I must be off to do other useful stuff today. Bye all (wave)

3:47 am

bye Lile

3:47 am

Bye Lile.

3:47 am

Bye, Lile, have a good day.

3:47 am

bye Lile!

3:48 am

She got it in chicken this morning, lynxxx!

3:48 am

aahh - FM one of the Os was in yesterdays grid

3:49 am

Doh, how quickly one forgets, thanks lynxxx.

3:50 am

lynxx are you all done with the decorating now?

3:50 am

Yes, I was going to ask as well.

3:51 am

Just some touch ups - Start on our bedroom next week. At least want to get all the scraping done before the carpet comes

3:52 am

You're on a roll!

3:52 am

wallpaper roll or paint roller?

3:53 am

Haz is jealous as she has nothing left to decorate now.

3:53 am

I know. I'm so frustrated.

3:53 am

That will be all the major things done. Then it is just small things to do. One thing about getting old - it will be the last time I do it.

3:55 am

Haz you could go down and help lynxxx and grab some spring sunshine

3:55 am

Except - my daughters room (I forgot!) When she goes I need to cover purple walls, blue doors and mauve woodwork (It does look good though)

3:55 am

You can employ nice young men to do it the next time and you can supervise from your armchair.

3:55 am

or is it summer now?

3:56 am

what is lyn decorating?

3:57 am

The whole house by the sound of it dfm

3:57 am

Summer this week going by the temps

3:57 am

We had fun getting rid of wallpaper in sister-in-law's living room. All previous paper had just been papered over, we needed to get down to the bare walls to have them replastered. Thank goodness for my steamer!

3:57 am

I am sure your daughter will buy a new house when she gets married Haz - You will be in demand

3:58 am

I remember that HAz, it was right up your street.

3:58 am

They will probably rent initially, lynxxx, it's really not a good time to be trying to buy a house here.

3:59 am

But I'll certainly help with decorating if required. Gosh, that has cheered me up.

3:59 am

lol

3:59 am

*grin*

4:00 am

I do love a project.

4:00 am

You could always give Spangles kennel a make over.

4:01 am

Husband would have me carried off to the home for the bewildered.

4:02 am

Pastel paint on the outside and curtains with bones printed on them round the windows ... no?

4:03 am

I can shear snorts of derrision emenating towards me from several points of the globe.

4:03 am

No!

4:03 am

what's wrong with decorating a kennel? o.0

4:04 am

She's a dog. A beloved dog, but a dog.

4:04 am

There is that cute white wallpaper with red dogs printed on it - that would be good on the inside. Cheer spangle up no end

4:04 am

Mr Haz is something of a traditionalist.

4:04 am

lol lynxxx

4:06 am

But do you remember the price, lynxxx?

4:06 am

back, finished the dreaded haircut. My husband refuses to go to a hairdresser as he worries about speaking f

4:06 am

French

4:06 am

ruby!

4:06 am

For your beloved dog Haz I am sure it won't be an issue

4:07 am

you could stencil your own Haz thus making 2 projects out of one and saving money. I am brilliant!

4:07 am

<-- finds decorating a kennel not much different th4 decorating a (human's) room :o/

4:07 am

All he needs to do is go to the hairdresser, point at his head,give a Gallic shrug and let him at it.

4:07 am

Good one FM!

4:07 am

urgh, so many common words in today's grid...

4:08 am

A kennel houses a dog. A dog doesn't give two hoots about its kennel. Therefore, waste of money.

4:08 am

but dogs can't hoot... they woof...

4:09 am

sshhh don't tell Stew

4:10 am

he refuses to go, just whines about his hair as he hates the fact that it's curly. I think he's nuts, but that's nothing new!

4:10 am

I had better go, am having the central heating & boiler serviced this morning and they are due to arrive shortly. TTFN.

4:10 am

If you turned that sentence around, lyn, it could be a cook trying to keep the menu secret. 'Stew, ssshh, don't tell'

4:10 am

My husband is very happy. Someone took our old couch off the nature strip (out there for the council to pick up). They must have brought a small army to take it away this evening

4:11 am

bye FM

4:11 am

Toodleoo FM.

4:11 am

{{fm}}

4:11 am

Is it cleaning day today as well, FM? All those men at your beck and call.

4:12 am

No, Andy was here last Tuesday but the Tescos delivery man has already been today.

4:12 am

or - ssh don't tell the Stew was horrid last night, husband will be upset

4:12 am

bye FM!

4:12 am

That's a good day, FM, food and heat being brought to you.

4:13 am

Oh dear, what went wrong with the stew?

4:13 am

Or was that just an example of turning the words around again?

4:15 am

Anyway, time I was heading off as well.

4:15 am

I think he was being inventive - it didn't work. Orange peel, mushrooms. My son was over and as husband went to bed early, he ordered pizza to pick up on the way home! Ken will eat anything however the rest of us are a bit more picky

4:15 am

Orange peel and mushrooms?

4:15 am

I know

4:16 am

deme

4:16 am

There's inventive and there's... seriously, orange peel and mushrooms?

4:16 am

sorry, heading to pb for a tranquilizer

4:16 am

What was the meat?

4:16 am

orange peel and mushrooms? o.0

4:16 am

oohhh added to the usual stew ingredients...meat, carrots. celery, splash of red

4:17 am

beef

4:17 am

He hasn't been watching Nigella behind your back?

4:17 am

Yes!

4:17 am

Excellent - we can blame her!

4:18 am

As I said sometimes it doesn't work - but gets all sensitive so can't say "that was rotten" and he keeps repeating the same dishes for a while. sheesh

4:18 am

anybody have a good way to start an all-vegetable soup? Half the time mine are good; the other half , they go directly into the trash

4:19 am

Right, must go before I get caught up in a blame Nigella campaign. See you again!

4:19 am

chicken stock?

4:19 am

Bye Haz. Hope Spangle has a good day

4:19 am

bye haz!

4:19 am

I have all the vegs, but something always seems to be missing.

4:20 am

Tomato paste?

4:20 am

do you cook the onions and celery in butter before making the broth?

4:20 am

Barley is always good for vegetable soups

4:22 am

4:23 am

4:24 am

I;m stuck on o, and bottom a and i for nbt

4:25 am

4:25 am

the oh4.5 is very close to a US state. also plural same

4:25 am

it4.5 is just one thing

4:26 am

and past tense that

4:33 am

Night all

4:34 am

ty lynxx

4:34 am

night lyn!

4:34 am

<-- should be going to sleep too... <.<

4:39 am

*poof*

4:43 am

*disappears as well* night all (if there's actually anyone left :o/)

4:47 am

morning all

4:52 am

now that was one ugly K to grey out!

4:53 am

i cant get it! lol

4:54 am

hi sami, one of the K words has a very unusual second letter.

4:57 am

got it..thanks :)

4:58 am

wtg!

5:19 am

fireflies. Except for the K, not a hard grid. Have a good day or night all.

5:38 am

good morning everyone

pounce

5:38 am

howdy herin

I have 18 left then I need to read and bed

5:39 am

lol i just started and the k lept out at me ,second word;)

I need sleep

It is too warm

5:41 am

warm here as well,15 c and pissing rain

5:41 am

unusual for this time of year,should be much colder

It si still 25c

5:43 am

ahh 25c..a nice summers day temp

no not at 1045 it isn't. I had to go out there today yuk

5:44 am

i melt at anything higher than that

I do too

My fav Cafe changed hands and the new staff suck and are rude. I mean if someone has ordered a coffee in the AM don't be rude to them chances are they are uncafineated and likely to bite

5:48 am

i do not use the coffee shops here overmuch,they are usually jam packed day and night and i am not much of a coffee fiend as i tend to prefer tea

My friends and I are regulars. they just sucked today. The woman told me that since I was just drinking coffee I couldn't sit were I usually sit. I told her that I was ordering food after coffee

5:49 am

though i find the coffee fiend sub-group facinating to watch..they are all in a panic,cutting each other off and even dinging up the cars to get into that drive through line lol

I was by myself the routine is order coffee, bathroom go to table drink coffee eat food veg for an hour

I don't mind waiting for good coffee. I wouldn't even think about going to a ding coffee done place

5:50 am

so,because she thought you were not going to eat,she did not want you using up a table?

Yep

I was by myself I couldn't just get comfy

5:51 am

i can sort of understand that to an extent,here they have a nasty habit of ordering a small coffee and lounging for hours and reading the paper

5:53 am

all the tables are full and you have sold naught but ten dollars of coffee:/

5:54 am

Morning all. It's a quickie grid today. Cross, you are channeling my husband with "overmuch". Next thing you know you'll be saying "side by each". : )

5:54 am

lol,i always say side by each lol

5:55 am

It's a charming phrase. Must get ready for work. Back later to finish up.

5:55 am

yes,seems like an easy grid so far so i am taking my time a bit on it

Crossie. I buy about $20 in food and coffee. Minimum is 4 Lattes in an hour

5:58 am

good grief! expensive habit

That is rare. I don't do this often

If I buy one cofffee I try and get a large with 4 shots. They don't like that and neither does teh AMA

6:00 am

i redid my household budget and by packing my tea and muffin from home,i am saving $540.00 a year

I do that Crossie. WHen I was working I would save about $50 a week

6:01 am

it is amazing how our small habits can kill the budget

yes

My first thing I am going to do when i get $$$ when working is save for a gravestone for my friend that is where that $50 will go

6:03 am

i used to play two lotteries a week,one at 6 dollars and one at 3 dollars,i went online,figured out the one with the best odds overall(it was the 3 dollar one) cut out the 6 dollar one and saved 312 more a year for a total yearly savings of $852.00

You are more than likely to get hit by lightening than win that

6:04 am

i am to be cremated, total cost including a nice urn= $1,600.00

6:05 am

and that is all paperwork done as well

6:06 am

why bury a perfectly good 5000 dollar casket that will just rot

6:06 am

average burial here including casket and plot and stone is 12,000.00

Crossie my friend hasn't got a tombstone. For years I was angry and pissed at his parents not fixing the situation. Turns out they have no money. Deadshits steal off graves that are just dirt

6:07 am

to hell with that noise,when i go,last thing i want to do is put my family in debt

6:07 am

ohh i understand

6:07 am

good idea then

6:07 am

someone stole her tombstone??!!

6:09 am

a fair number of th words for a small grid

6:12 am

my f-i-l just passed herin and my m-i-l was smart and had him cremated,was so easy and hassle free,they took care of everything including all the govt paperwork and the funeral home even made a donation to the cancer society in the family name..was nice,very stress free

6:14 am

anyone got va4/7?

6:14 am

va and repeat

6:15 am

oops not quite

6:15 am

va+ cons_ first vowel

6:15 am

6:15 am

6:16 am

thanks :)

6:16 am

well,off to an appt in the city.will be back later to finish.tc all and happy babbling...poof!

Later Crosie

crossie no tombstone means that if there is stuff on the dirt it gets pinched

6:23 am

speaking of gravestones and burials...i want to die....i feel like rubbish..and my head is so full my ears hurt..my brain hurts..my throat hurts

8:56 am

Good morning/afternoon all.

8:56 am

Hey, Haz.

8:56 am

Talking about kv4---I was at a Russian-Polish restaurant on the boardwalk in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn and the waiter suggested kv4 as a drink. I never tasted anything like it. It was awful...grass that a dog did his liquid business on. that is the way it tasted to me.

8:57 am

Hi Hazel

8:57 am

Hello! Annie, you needn't ever look for a job with the Kv4 Marketing Board.

8:58 am

cgw....Who Sh** Liberty Valance?

hello Haz

8:58 am

Got that, too. D:

8:58 am

LOL, Haz...No, definitely not. There is a black star next to my name on that list

8:58 am

And the one that adds an e onto that

8:59 am

Hello, Nono.

8:59 am

cgw, you should have all of them

8:59 am

Really? I only counted 11...

9:00 am

I thought there were 12?

9:00 am

9:00 am

Yeah, I only have 11. :|

9:01 am

9:01 am

Really? Damn, OK.

9:02 am

cgw, do you have the footwear?

9:02 am

9:02 am

Yeah.

9:02 am

Annie, never would I touch kv**. And, one whose lips have touched it will touch mine

9:02 am

sh4/5 would be applicable about now

9:03 am

Yeah, no kidding. D:

9:03 am

bichon, then you know what I am talking about...vile, vile, vile and they sell that sh4

9:03 am

I'm getting the feeling that good old Kv4 is an acquired taste.

9:03 am

the first sa5...spelled the same as fa*** and hope

9:03 am

I don't think I have any intention of trying to acquire it, the stuff sounds bad.

9:04 am

then add a vowel to that sa5

9:04 am

vegamite and kv** are on my no no list

9:04 am

I never tasted vegamite

9:04 am

My daughter married a Ukranian and they eat things like that

9:05 am

sh...6,5,6,6,5,4,5,6,4,4,4,5

have never tried this kv4 and by the sounds of it I dont think i want to

9:05 am

Maybe on Ukranian babble, they're talking in hushed tones about people drinking tea.

9:05 am

I'm missing that third five, I think

9:06 am

cgw, plural of Sh** Stadium

the pl of the place where the mets used to play

9:06 am

You're right Haz

9:06 am

Well sh4/5 xD

Bye, Annie.

9:18 am

nono, Bobbie says "hi". She thinks the world of you.

9:18 am

nbt!

9:18 am

As in Scarlet, Lucky?

hi Lucky, Tell Bobbie Hi for me. I think of her often

How is she doing?

9:20 am

Will do. I'm her roomie, sitting here talking about how much you mean to her. She is battling cancer and not very talkative right now.

9:21 am

She's winning, tho

9:21 am

Pass on my regards as well, Lucky.

yes, that I knew. glad she is fighting!

Please tell her she is in my prayers daily

9:24 am

Great start to my day...hubby needs picking up...off to dress....bbl

9:24 am

She says she appreciates every thought and prayer. She says you are the best friend she had at CC and she truly loves you.

9:24 am

See you later, Jilly.

9:24 am

Haz, d?o you know Bobbie Royal Crush

We all miss her there!

9:25 am

Lucky, I'm realising that I've got my wires crossed. I thought you were talking about Scarlet, a former babbler, whose first name is also Bobbie.

9:25 am

She would be back as a member but shes still banned. lol

9:25 am

So, no, I don't know your Bobbie, but I send her my best wishes in any case.

a few of us go back even farther than cc with bobbie

9:26 am

no prob haz. I'll pass on your regards anyway lol

9:27 am

I just saw the name and my ears pricked up.

9:27 am

yeah, nono, she sure misses you all, too

HAs has anyone heard from Scarlet?

9:28 am

I haven't heard anything for ages, Nono.

9:28 am

nono, may I add you to my friend list?

9:28 am

Somehow, she managed to break the babble addiction. I've heard a rumour that she's writing a book about how to do it.

absolutely Lucky

9:29 am

thanks. will do

9:29 am

I need a hint for the e, please. I have ea4/7

hmmmm do you think a book on how to break this crazy addiction would help?

9:30 am

et4/5 is the other. It's the latter half of the drinker's last resort (apart from kv4) me5.

et4/6, cgw

9:30 am

I don't know, Nono, but I' m unlikely to buy it, not being addicted or anything.

9:31 am

Thanks. :D

9:31 am

thx for those

oh, I know Haz! You can stop playing this crazy game anytime

9:31 am

18 words left! :o

9:31 am

I just don't want to!

ok, i must be off now. Happy babbling everyone

9:32 am

git'r dun, cgw

9:32 am

you all are great. I'm glad I found this site.

9:32 am

Bye, Nono.

9:32 am

:D

9:32 am

One could always read the book after finishing a short grid, just to fill in the time before the next flip?

9:32 am

bye nono

9:32 am

Bye

9:32 am

Hello, FM!

9:33 am

Afternoon Haz and hello all.

9:33 am

hi fm

9:34 am

How many si words are there?

9:34 am

Hi Pini!

9:34 am

Oh, and hi, FM. :)

9:34 am

Just two, cgw.

9:34 am

Thanks, Haz. :)

9:34 am

2 x si words

9:35 am

No problem.

9:36 am

Boiler man eventually turned up Haz.

9:36 am

What word is it that "sounds like a credit card?"

9:36 am

at 11.30 :(

9:37 am

Oh well, at least it was technically still morning.

9:37 am

a hint for the o in the last column?

9:37 am

va4 - sounds/looks to me like something a Roman would put flowers in.

9:37 am

Thanks, I just got it. xD

9:37 am

oh4 oh5

9:38 am

true and as I am not paying I guess I can't grumble but was told it would be between 10/10.30.

9:38 am

(almost like the state, trentsnana)

9:38 am

ty

9:38 am

got 'em, thnx

9:38 am

Anyone have any hints for the more upper-ish a? :|

9:38 am

Time always seems to be much more elastic for the person coming than the one waiting. Had you made other plans to be out or anything?

9:38 am

oohs and aa4

9:39 am

ah4 (used to get someone's attention?)

9:39 am

no, so I will stop whining ;)

9:39 am

I'd give you a clue for ah4 but I'd have to clear my throat first.

9:39 am

no ifs an4 or buts

9:39 am

Oooh, thanks. :D

9:40 am

Dang, I thought I tried that one, thanks Pini. :D

9:40 am

ai4 is the last one

9:41 am

Or ah4 - the part of the skirt that always needs resewn....or paperclipped, take your pick.

9:41 am

Thanks, Pini. :D

9:41 am

(staples come in to play on occasion, haz!) :)

9:41 am

lol Haz, you can always try stapling it too.

9:41 am

* snap * FM!

9:42 am

heh heh Pini.

9:42 am

Stapling is a step too far. Sticky tape holds it until washing.

9:42 am

I only have 10 words left I'm so excited! :D

9:42 am

I remember stpaling a couple of time in the office.

9:42 am

git'r dun, cgw...another 26 to go here

9:43 am

This'll be the first time I've ever finished. :D

9:43 am

I stapled my jeans just last week...

9:43 am

...I kept stepping on the back (wore the wrong shoes)...helped until I got home ;)

9:43 am

oh, then definitely 'git'r dun' cgw...

9:44 am

:D

9:44 am

are you still within your 2-week 'trial'? if so, you'll see fireworks!

9:44 am

Yeah, I am. :D

9:44 am

ooooh, exciting!

9:45 am

How many th words are there?

9:46 am

9

9:46 am

looks like 9

9:46 am

There are 9.

9:46 am

Thanks. :)

9:47 am

9 left to find now...

9:47 am

might get to celebrate with ya, cgw!

9:47 am

And they're all pretty normal except for the first th4 (unless you're Scots)

9:48 am

Hm, then I think I'm missing the first th4. D:

9:48 am

you are right Haz I was looking for v strange th's this morning and missing all the normal ones.

9:49 am

It's Scots for 'those'. Use the letters of what a boiler gives out, but mixed up.

9:49 am

how many now, cgw?

9:49 am

Got it, thanks. I have 9 left. :D

9:49 am

let's go!!! 4 here

9:49 am

(but I listed)

9:49 am

4 t's, 4 h's, 1 m. :D

9:50 am

What's it mean "listed" I keep seeing people use that word, but I don't know what it means on here.

9:50 am

it's an aid, cgw...Lickety's List...a link below the grid under Friends of Babble (center column)

9:51 am

cgw - many of us use Lickety's list which gives the first two letters and the values of the words. Scroll down to Lickety's babble clues and you'll see it.

9:51 am

It provides you with a list that contains the first 2 letters of each available word, their respective lengths and point value

9:51 am

Ooooh, I see.

9:51 am

It makes life much easier.

9:51 am

and right click to open it in a new window.

9:51 am

Some use it and swear by it, others refuse it and like to go it alone.

9:52 am

Hm, I might try it.

9:52 am

and they have a lot more grey hairs then the rest of us :)

9:52 am

And each side thinks the other is crazy.

9:52 am

xD

Lucky, are you still here?

9:53 am

I didn't think I'd finish this grid so I listed just after I reached 1/2-way last night...(I'm not usually here this early, but it's a SNOW day!)

please tell Bobbie about this site: http://wingsoffriendship.activeboard.c om/

9:53 am

I have to say it is very useful for the bigger grids so that you can place words.

its run by another of her friends and she would be most welcome there if she would care to join

9:53 am

It is, FM.

9:53 am

snow! oh my.

9:54 am

So for the m, I need me5/12, any hints? D:

9:54 am

9:54 am

9:54 am

10:18 am

Well done, cgw, now you know what they look like!

10:19 am

My first time finishing. Though I supposed I probably should be listening to my chem class right now. o.O

10:19 am

yes, we've hooked another; assimilation to prodom is inevitable; resistance is futile!

10:19 am

aren't they pretty cgw?

now cgw.... if you joined up, you'd see the pretty fireworks ... !

10:19 am

Round of applause all round.

10:19 am

xD

10:19 am

*whap*

10:19 am

I did get to see the pretty fireworks 'cause I'm still in my pro trial. :D

10:20 am

Babble is a much more formidable foe than chemistry

10:20 am

LOL has image of cgw wooping in classs and everyone turning round to look.

10:20 am

lol...mside!!

10:20 am

just remember, after the 2-wk trial, the sparklers go away as do all of the stats below the grid and word list!

10:20 am

They'll think he's discovered a new compound or something.

10:20 am

xD I came pretty close. But I remembered where I was just before I did.

10:20 am

(I was thinking the same thing, FM!)

awesome... :-) I knew after 2 days that I wanted to join... it was quick, painless and not expensive !!

10:21 am

How much is it? Do you pay per month or just once?

10:21 am

btw cgw...buying the pro account is really worth it...lifetime addiction!!

just once

10:21 am

A one time fee of something like $14.95.

10:21 am

onetime fee of $14.95 USD

10:21 am

Just once and it is about $15.

mine just came through on this month's visa bill

10:21 am

def worth it, and you get to put your flag

10:21 am

Dude, I'm definitely getting a pro account, then. :D

10:22 am

and your dog (hahah)

10:22 am

xD

10:22 am

Who's going to claim the commission?

10:22 am

Who persuaded you the most, cgw?

10:22 am

ah, another one bites the dust with the rest of us!!! LOL

10:22 am

Which silver-tongued babbler persuaded you to part with your cash?

mine ended up being 15.82 Can. funds that particular day.... ( 3 weeks later, our dollar was almost at par !! )

10:23 am

* giggle *

10:23 am

Uh...Pini, probs. Although all of you helped. xD

10:23 am

* blush * aw, shucks! thx cgw!

10:23 am

xDD

10:23 am

Looking back to see how many clues I SLAVED over for you.

10:24 am

I think the best part of babble is how nice everyone is on here. :D

10:24 am

down to 21 but doubtful for fireworks :(

10:24 am

LOLOLOL thanks Haz. xD

10:24 am

10:25 am

Well, someones coming over to look at our Thule cararier. bbl..by all!!

10:26 am

Although most of my friends have bigger lives than I do, at the moment. xD

10:26 am

Bye, Jill. :D

10:26 am

you can't get a big turkey here. We used to go to Geneva, but it cost more than 125$ US for what they give away in American supermarkets. Just not worth it!

10:27 am

Yikes. Couldn't live without my turkey

10:27 am

In France they eat turkeys only for Christmas, and even then, they're rarely over 10 lbs.....

10:28 am

It's difficult to find a turkey in the stjores here that small unless you get just a breast

10:28 am

I used to do the whole feast for French friends, but it seems silly and wasteful to buy a turkey like that when they don't even "get" the occasion

10:29 am

Well, I'm gonna take a break and find some other way to avoid thinking about chem. I'll probs be back on later to chat. Bye. :)

10:29 am

at least the ones in Geneva were American and weighed 18-20 lbs

10:29 am

When I lived in Israel they didn't have them and it was such a dreary day. Even had to work. I suppose they have them now

10:30 am

I would have liked to go to London to be with my family there, but it wasn't possible this year

10:30 am

They have turkey in England, right?

10:30 am

it's strange, this is my first year out of college and it's somewhat of a shock that I'll be working on the Friday after Thanksgiving

10:30 am

oooh, on Black Friday, msideb?

10:30 am

I guess so; I gave my niece all my recipes, so I guess she's making a big turkey....

10:31 am

* I wish you luck *

10:31 am

People have to work on Black Friday, what a shame

10:31 am

they'll be 10 at table (we would have made it 12)

10:32 am

why is it called Black Friday? My husband said that and I said No Way!

10:32 am

haha, I know... it's not a problem, I've just gotten overly used to gorging myself on leftovers on Friday/Sat/Sun

10:32 am

I won't have leftovers cuz I'm not cookin'...

10:33 am

won't they give you a "care" pkg to take home?

10:34 am

...I'm volunteering at a food kitchen (providing transport for elders)...

10:34 am

you will get a star in heaven for that, pini!

10:35 am

thx ruby ;)

11:10 am

Well since grid is finished for me, I am going to waddle off (it is how one walks when dressed in layers) and get some housework done. BBL

11:11 am

<-- finds it interesting how it's colder down south than here up north o.0

11:19 am

cold is just a state of mind,till it gets below 0f or minus 18c lol

11:19 am

then the fun really begins;)

11:19 am

*shrug* still T-shirt weather...

11:19 am

11:21 am

i do not like ice on my kness so o compromise a bit

11:21 am

Maybe put on a windbreaker if it's much colder... wear actual pants if I'm gonna be out too long...

11:22 am

yes,if you work inside for a living,that is fine

11:22 am

11:23 am

thought so;)

11:25 am

anyways,real life interrupts,will be back when i can....poof!

11:25 am

bye crossy!

11:31 am

hello all

11:31 am

I have a cooking question. Does anyone here use a dutch oven?

11:31 am

hi all

11:32 am

I have a pot that is as big as a Dutch Oven. What's your question.

11:32 am

Hi Ardilla.

11:32 am

hi peri. I've used a dutch oven

11:32 am

wanted to know if I could use it in an electric oven

I've had a dutch oven used on me

11:32 am

hi ardilla, how are you feeling?

11:32 am

haha Fish

11:32 am

I don't see why not, as long as the handles are oven proof.

I honestly thought that was where you were going with that peri!

11:33 am

I cooked w/mine in the oven quite often

11:33 am

BBL

11:33 am

I thought so, just wanted to check.

11:35 am

still coughing...the medic thinks it's now pneumonia and finally sent me to get x-rays

11:35 am

hi peri, Fish, gramma, Molly, ardilla! :o)

11:36 am

how is everyone?

11:39 am

anyone still here?

11:39 am

*gives ardilla chicken soup with saltines, warm tea and a fluffy blankie*

11:40 am

just came in. ((hugs))

11:40 am

ty stid *hugs

11:41 am

other than being on death's door, how are you ardilla?

11:41 am

I was concerned that it might be pneumonia Ardilla. Are you on antibiotics?

11:41 am

good otherwise

11:41 am

just started antibiotics today

11:41 am

well that's something at least

11:42 am

Those will make all the difference, once they kick in. I wish they had caught this sooner.

11:42 am

well -- FOLLOW ORDERS and stay in bed and on the meds as long as they tell you *tucks ardilla in more tightly*

11:42 am

luckily, there's only one more day of work before the t-day break

11:42 am

*stomps mama foot*

11:43 am

hmph. work when sick. hmph.

11:43 am

guess they WANT the whole office to be incapacitated.

11:43 am

*rolls mama eyes*

11:43 am

well, the medic thinks that the infection was moving around and lingering until it stop at my lungs

11:44 am

I think Stid and I need to come over there and kick some Spanish doctor butt. They are not taking very good care of our girl. Can you get your hands on a cool mist vaporizer?

11:44 am

he also gave me mucinex and a narcotic to help me sleep for the next 5 nights

11:44 am

no, i'm being seen by americans

11:44 am

*packs bags* I'll pick you up at three Molly -- get the flight arranged!

11:45 am

Hey, we can kick American doctor butt too, no problem.

11:45 am

hmph. they need to go back to school.

11:45 am

probably would ha4 to drive 1.5 hours to the nearest large american store...bought some vapor-rub when i was up there last

11:46 am

the medics don't agree on the best course

11:47 am

well I know sometimes diagnosis is difficult -- but when ill one should NOT be on duty

11:47 am

the one i saw the last time was at least able to reduce the amount of coughing...this one is the one i ha4 seen the most...i didn't know upper respiratory infections move around your body...ha4 to call my mom on that one

11:49 am

just one more day...at least tomorrow should be relatively easy since we are having our t-day lunch

11:49 am

hopefully, they will release us from duty early...to start the holiday break

11:50 am

I have said it before here and will say it again -- if it doesn't resolve in a couple weeks BE PERSISTENT. my grandfather died of lung cancer due to missed diagnosis and his assumption that it was "just bronchitis"

11:50 am

you still ha4 to work when you're sick? Do:

11:51 am

yes, unless i am put on quarters (bed rest)...but that only happening if you ha4 a fever AND are vomiting because they figure that you're contagious

11:52 am

newsflash: pneumonia IS contagious

11:52 am

i've been coughing since 5 Nov...this was my 5th visit for this

11:53 am

i don't ha4 a fever or nausea so no quarters for me

11:53 am

furthermore, you take longer to heal and return to full productivity when you don't rest and let your body heal. *VERY stern mama look at stupid military docs*

11:53 am

brb...time to put food in oven

11:53 am

coughing is contagious...

11:53 am

military docs, stid? o.0

11:54 am

yep. STUPID military docs. *shakes head sadly*

11:55 am

he finally asked if it's keeping me up at night...i had called him earlier this month to get the okay to take cough medicine and was told no since it might raise my blood pressure...now, he's giving me cough medicine in pill form...he thought he gave it to me already cuz he wrote that down

11:56 am

cough medicine raises BP? o.0

11:56 am

STUPID STUPID STUPID (can't write the word I am THINKING) military docs

11:57 am

i ha4 more faith in the other medic...at least his methods were more effective...i thought i was seeing him today and was very surprised when the other guy walked in

11:57 am

just one more day...

11:57 am

ardilla -- it would be reasonable to write a complaint about the incompetence of this particular medic.

11:57 am

actually -- to clarify -- are you seeing a medic, or an MD

11:59 am

Chiming in with Stid. I grew up being seen by military doctors. Some are good, many are not so good.

11:59 am

oh, military doctors. XoD

12:00 pm

MOLLY!! i have a "Sam's Dad's Roasted Potato" recipe for you!

12:00 pm

a medic...our location is so small that we go through triage first for sick call, then if it's bad enough, we get referred to the larger naval base 1.5 hrs away or to an off-base Spanish civilian doctor

12:00 pm

wait, why military doctors? o.0

12:00 pm

they seem to be under orders to "use up" the strength of enlisted folks rather than making sure they are healthy. I think they believe there are "plenty more" waiting to join up.

12:00 pm

EvaN!!! (((hugs)))

12:00 pm

i had to go off-base to get the x-rays

12:00 pm

hiya stid. :)

12:00 pm

just popping in on my way from a lunchtime meeting to actual LUNCH!

12:01 pm

Hi EvaN :o)

12:01 pm

hi all

12:01 pm

i'm actually seen at a first aid station (what they call the clinic here)

12:01 pm

they should be having you consult with a real doc --coughs that don't resolve in a week or so can be very serious.

12:01 pm

hey BOO!!!!

12:01 pm

Hi Boo :o)

12:01 pm

hi eva boo

12:01 pm

18 days now :(

12:01 pm

hello, hello! *waves*

12:01 pm

I am down to 25 words!

12:02 pm

AND I have only to tidy up a few things on the master's proposal to be officially done for the quarter!

12:02 pm

dfm, i'm military; that's why i ha4 to see military docs

12:02 pm

molly? ya here, chica?

12:02 pm

I wish Scrabs were here... she would know for real what might help.

12:02 pm

<-- coughs always last more th4 15 days for him... o.o

12:03 pm

What I used to do with my boys when they had coughs was put them in the bathroom with the hot shower to get warm moist air into their lungs to help them cough. BUT I don't know if that is the right thing for pneumonia

12:03 pm

poor dfm

12:03 pm

i agree, molly; some are good and some are bad

12:03 pm

btw... HOW do you pronounce dfmchfhf?

12:03 pm

had one that lasted 67 days... non-bacterial, non-viral o.0

12:04 pm

I haven't had a real cough for years -- even the cough from the flu in September lasted less than two weeks

12:04 pm

I read it letter-by-letter...

12:04 pm

awww...poor dfm *hug

12:04 pm

that's what I suspected... is "dfm" acceptable to you for an abbreviation?

12:04 pm

i've tried that, stid

12:04 pm

i had a nasty cough last fall/winter that lasted for a good 2-3 months. wasnt sick other than that. just couldnt stop coughing. mayhaps i shoulda seen a doctor for that...heh

12:04 pm

Or, sometimes, by the QWERTY keys I need to push to type it (i.e. hymijyjy), but most people end up not-understanding. :o/

12:05 pm

Most people use "dfm", I don't mind any shortform of it :o)

12:05 pm

anywho, since molly is non-responsive, im going to go forage some lunch before my stomach digests itself... back soon!

12:05 pm

bye eva

12:06 pm

lessee... I've seen "dfm", "dfmc", "df", "diff", "d", and, absurdly, "c" <== that is taking "shortening" to a new extent, it's the "d" without the vertical st4!

12:06 pm

LOL you are using the dvorak layout?

12:06 pm

later EvaN! (((more hugs)))

12:06 pm

yeah, I switch back and forth between Dvorak, Dvorak LH and QWERTY, depending what I'm doing (I can never get used to Programmer Dvorak!)

12:07 pm

Bye EvaN, and that reminds me I should eat my lunch... eventually... :o/

12:07 pm

Yoo hoo! Had to act like I was working for a bit.

12:07 pm

cool. I only use qwerty because I type pretty fast on it anyway, but my tom like the dvorak

12:07 pm

LOL Molly! you missed EvaN

12:08 pm

I just ate breakfast... they closed EVERYTHING so Tom is working from home today. Not sure he could have even reached the main road to the highway from here.

12:08 pm

anyway, we all slept in today (except for the phone call from the school to tell us not to come in)

12:08 pm

Stid what did I miss? You have snow? Ew.

12:09 pm

stiddy do you have a ducth oven?

12:09 pm

EvaNadine was here for a moment

12:09 pm

dutch oven ,even

12:09 pm

QWERTY WPM: 200 Dvorak WPM: 120 (but it's more comfortable) Dvorak LH WPM: 65 (but I can use one ha4!) Dvorak RH WPM: 25 (-.- my right ha4 sucks at typing...)

12:09 pm

stid, why is everything closed?

12:10 pm

de6 pls

12:10 pm

yes. we have had about 6" at our house, but the problem is that there is ice under the snow and our roads are the last to be sanded, graded or anything. too rural

12:10 pm

check seattle stations ardilla, I-5 is a sliding parking lot from everett to centralia or thereabouts at least... kiro or komo are the best to look at

12:11 pm

or check the traffic maps at wsdot.dot.wa.gov (that's tom's programming) *proud wife look*

12:11 pm

I have a real dutch oven, peri -- works GREAT on a fire, decently in the electric oven, and not bad on the gas cooktop. Why?

12:11 pm

it's cast iron... LOVE cast iron.

12:11 pm

that's pretty fast typing, dfm!

12:12 pm

my sister has an electric oven, not something I would have chosen. just wondered how it worked in an electric oven, but you answered that for me

12:12 pm

de6/24 to lower in dignity

12:12 pm

I think my best (when I am in practice) is about 115 wpm. I am not currently in practice, and still not used to the keys of the macbook

12:12 pm

ty dfm

12:13 pm

That was my last D th6!

12:16 pm

I learned in Typewriter Dvorak though, so the one that Windows has is confusing for me (Typewriter Dvorak pairs punctuation differently... e.g. period + colon, comma + semicolon as opposed to period + >, comma + < on Windows Dvorak)

12:16 pm

how many KN please?

12:16 pm

1x kn

12:16 pm

hm. okay... *thinking*

12:17 pm

I have a ka 4/8 also...

12:19 pm

there is also a weird second letter with the K.

12:20 pm

okay. *thinking*

12:20 pm

GOT IT!!!!!

12:27 pm

go ruby go!

12:28 pm

Hello everyone! Stidmama, gee, I thought you would be out skating on the roads today ;). Everything is shut down here.

12:28 pm

I think the "query an insect" clue is the best for the as6.

12:29 pm

tyvm stid was using wrong last letter

12:29 pm

hey ch! all shut down this-a-way too -- roads are VERY dicy at the south sound.

12:29 pm

12:29 pm

oh, that IS a great clue Molly!

12:29 pm

go ardilla go!

12:29 pm

Same here. Molly, if you really wanted to be obscure, you could say "query Atom" :)

12:29 pm

wow, I thought that we were going to have snow early (for here)' prediction for Thurs, but you folks have us beat!!!

12:31 pm

and halfway done

12:31 pm

1:03 pm

I know it's good that they enjoy many activities, but I miss our weekends together.

1:03 pm

jac, you want snow? we have PLENTY!

1:03 pm

heh, it took me about 30 seconds to realise you're talking about HP the movie and not HP the company :o/

1:03 pm

which reminds me, need to upload those pics. brb

1:03 pm

we will get your snow on Thurs, jacq

1:03 pm

mama, kids with lots of activities that stimulate them in different ways rarely get into anti-social behaviours

1:04 pm

so well done them

1:04 pm

oooh, debate! My daughter did that too in both high school and college. We went to Nationals her senior year. (I was a speech judge, so got to go too)

1:04 pm

i am excited about the snow, but after a couple of days i get tired of it, they never clear the roads or pavements here and it's dangerous as anything

1:05 pm

(Stid keeps leaving ... mmmm.... well, I think I'll join her and pop outside for a bit to clear the walkways.) Ha4 fun all!

1:05 pm

bye ch

1:05 pm

bye ch :o)

Two th6. I hef vun.

2:20 pm

Actually, since we are speaking English, it may be better to spell that as Tiw-day rather th4 Marsday. ;o)

2:20 pm

2:20 pm

hi cos!

2:20 pm

hi all! :)

2:21 pm

we didnt see you on last night dfm

2:21 pm

2:21 pm

Thank you for speaking English.

I can't get the other one but at least my English is returning.

2:21 pm

I concur with Judi

2:21 pm

we didn't? :oO

2:22 pm

but I even went to bed at 0500h...

2:22 pm

Maybe I wasn't paying attention

2:22 pm

hi lyn :o)

2:22 pm

I was rather distracted by the tv

2:23 pm

I'm crap at other languages, but I'm guessing you were conversing in German?

2:23 pm

Kaplan was speaking in German-accented English for who-knows-what reason o.0

2:23 pm

Bette Midler had a great quote once.. "You're in America now. Speak American!" -- although I guess that doesn't apply to Babble Land :)

2:25 pm

I haven't watched the news yet today. Did we ever find out why North Korea lobbed rockets at South Korea yesterday?

2:25 pm

I was using the alternate (? or posibly archaic... or maybe classical?) names of days of the week (Sunday, Lunday, Marsday, Mercurday, Joveday, Venusday, Saturday) (might've spelt Mercurday and Venusday wrongly...)

2:25 pm

Because North Korea is insane?

2:26 pm

I'd tend to agree with that, cos... now South Korea is saying they need a big retaliation

2:27 pm

Right b4 the Holiday Season. So much for World Peace.

2:27 pm

Well, that's always a possibility. I just wondered if NK attempted to offer an explanation yet.

2:28 pm

I haven't looked at the news yet. I tend to watch the news after dinner so I don't lose my appetite lol

2:28 pm

An SK bird dared to fly over the DMZ?

2:28 pm

NK has been jonesing for a conflict for year now, though

2:28 pm

(Germanic names for days of the week are Sunday, Moonday, Tiw's day, Woden's day, Thor's day, Freya's day, ... and English get th4 from Germanic. Except for Sunday/Monday/Saturday, which I don't really know in Germanic...)

2:28 pm

wait, Korea launched missiles? o.0 <-- doesn't read news >.>

2:29 pm

Well just glanced at Google News. Only 2 casualties.

2:30 pm

(oops, Monday is from Germanic... Moon's Day. Would be Luna in Latin.)

2:30 pm

and the headline is "US condemns N.Korean shelling, shows restraint"

2:31 pm

Ah - there is a reason other than being insane.

2:31 pm

The attack followed revelations over the weekend of a uranium enrichment facility -- a second source of atomic bomb material in Pyongyang's nuclear program.

2:33 pm

Yes. The NK's allowed someone from the NRC to visit the facility. However - I did not see any correlation between this and WHY they shot rockets at SK. Did SK shoot first? That would seem uncharacteristically provacative of SK.

2:34 pm

No. NK shot first.

2:34 pm

SK shot back.

2:35 pm

No other reasoning.

2:35 pm

how many words are there?

2:35 pm

* this is like a ping-pong game *

2:35 pm

85 gabim

2:35 pm

ty

2:36 pm

Wall Street journal seems to have a pretty succinct article on it. NK are claiming some justification (well sortof) if you read it

2:37 pm

Ty, Lynxxx. Will go to WSJ to read. BRB.

2:37 pm

41 left - no list yet.

2:37 pm

ty lynx

2:38 pm

8 left - can't do list now

2:38 pm

Got the M's done.

2:46 pm

Just read the article. Unconscionable for NK to fire on an island inhabited by so many civilians. The firing went on for over an hour! Kudos for the SK's to be prepared with bomb shelters. Guess they're used to living close to nut jobs who keep their fingers on the triggers.

2:46 pm

this is so hard

2:47 pm

echos of Israel

2:50 pm

hi Gabiim. You are new?

2:53 pm

i m behind in the news,has something happened with north and south korea again?

2:53 pm

any clues for the first sh6/30? I'm uber frustrated with it.

2:54 pm

if you have a news link for it,i would appreciate it

2:54 pm

30 left. Listing.

ty judi

2:57 pm

I love that movie Judi!

2:59 pm

We had a documentary here about 6 months ago - around a defected NK army officer who worked in all the massive nuclear plants NK has been building - scary stuff

3:01 pm

i can see why NK is eyeballing that island it is in a interesing position for future natiness

3:01 pm

I'm about to go - any clues wanted first?

3:01 pm

nastiness

3:01 pm

Let's not forget where NK gets most of its military money from ... China. That's the BIG reason SK, Japan and the US don't want to respond to aggression.

3:01 pm

the first sa6?

3:02 pm

even china is getting weary of the whole thing

3:02 pm

Yes Judi. I hope we never have to respond. WWWIII

3:02 pm

add a vwl to the first sa5

3:02 pm

ugh I meant.. the first sh6 lol sorry

3:03 pm

thank lynxxx -- I needed that one

3:03 pm

It would be foolish China would not want to protect its investments, though.

3:03 pm

*to think that*

3:03 pm

sh6 the leomonade & beer drink - or sh & get a h**** man in to do the odd jobs

3:04 pm

a country like china can dump a bad investment if it becomes too much of a hornets nest

3:04 pm

ty!

3:04 pm

we shall see i suppose

3:05 pm

is there an s6 from the lefthand s?

3:05 pm

OK Bye all. let us all pray that North Korea 'pulls its head in"!

3:05 pm

I would love to hear China state publically to NK: "If you do it again, you are on your own. We will not protect you.".

3:06 pm

indeed lynxx,or the world may wish for some turtle soup

4:04 pm

Yes, I did have a good time...been to several lately...from classical to hillbilly...

4:04 pm

I could mail you the cashews, I throw them away. But they would be stale by the time they reached you

4:04 pm

DO NOT LIKE CASHEWS?/!!! OMG!...crossy looks in wonder and amazement...

4:04 pm

I am glad to hear that Jellen

4:04 pm

4:06 pm

if i had to give up bacon or cashews,i would have to think about it

4:07 pm

hands down Cashews for me

4:07 pm

I buy a can of mixed nuts, dump them in a bowl, take out what I like and toss the rest

4:07 pm

and pistachios are a new love for me;)

4:08 pm

..till i read the fat content

4:08 pm

generally only buy nuts at Thanksgiving and Christmas

4:08 pm

are they high in fat Crossy

4:08 pm

see the new planters christmas spiced mixed nuts?

4:09 pm

Hmm, I like cashews. Almonds and pecans are my favorite. If I tossed from mixed nuts, it would be the Filberts.

4:09 pm

I saw them today at the grocery

4:09 pm

are those the great big ones Molly? and hello

4:10 pm

ok got the hut now think i need the last sh 6/30

4:10 pm

you can get a canister of three different kinds for $7.98

4:10 pm

Hello Mom, yep, the great big ones. They don't have much taste. I'm distressed that pistachios have a high fat content. But I don't eat them much, so I guess I have no worries.

4:10 pm

afternoon

4:10 pm

bringing in the sh 6/30, bringing in the sh, we shall come rejoicing .....

4:10 pm

Hi Jesdraggon

4:10 pm

s+h 5/18 is one that took me a bit to find

4:11 pm

Bringing in the sh6/30!

4:11 pm

Jello makes a pistachio pudding that my sons like

4:11 pm

howdy jes;))

4:11 pm

People rave about the pistachio cake that you make with that pudding. I've never made it.

4:11 pm

Molly, those go in the trash as well as the little round brown looking nuts

4:12 pm

I have never made the cake either

4:12 pm

I'm lucky. I don't have to trash them. My sons eat all kinds of nuts. And yep, the little brown round ones, ixnay.

4:12 pm

what Do you eat out of the mixed nut can mom? lol

4:13 pm

peanuts, pecans, and some almonds

4:13 pm

Mom, did you see that Eva posted her Dad's roasted potato recipe in her profile?

4:13 pm

would just buy a can of pecans if Planters made them

4:13 pm

get a jar of each and save

4:13 pm

no Molly I didn't

4:13 pm

I'll have to look for it

4:13 pm

It's a lot simpler that I imagined. I do my roasted potatoes with olive oil and herbs.

4:14 pm

ohh i've had that pistachio cake, it was amazing.

4:14 pm

i do roasted taters like that as well molly

4:14 pm

note to self: call Planter's ask for pecan only

4:14 pm

Molly, is that what Eva decided to bring for dinner on Thursday?

4:16 pm

It's my dream to have a pecan tree and to just sit under it when those suckers start dropping with a nutcracker and love life.

4:16 pm

here u go mom http://www.amazon.com/Planters-Pecan-H alves-16-Ounce-Packages/dp/B001EPQTSW

I guess there just isn't a market for it

4:20 pm

oh Molly, you are so prepared

4:21 pm

Mom, have you ever made the easy praline candy with brown sugar, graham crackers and pecans? It's really good.

4:21 pm

4:22 pm

only candy I usually make are buckeyes

4:22 pm

thank you Crossy

4:22 pm

np at all mom

4:24 pm

remember what big companies assume when doing their marketing"if 1 person takes the time to contact them(for example a tin of 100% pecans) then 10,000 others are thinking the same thing"

4:25 pm

tell me the V words are just super-weird?

4:25 pm

thanks Crossy, email has been sent

4:26 pm

Ooo, buckeyes look good Mom. I can see you and I making them, like Lucy and Ethel on the assembly line. : D

4:26 pm

lol Molly

4:26 pm

only one is LeslieAnn

4:26 pm

One v word is weird, the other two are fairly standard.

4:26 pm

ah ok have the two normal ones then

4:27 pm

Leslieann do you want stats for the other V

4:27 pm

saw the other normal one as soon as i pressed enter, of course

4:27 pm

Think not Mastercard, but a different spelling for the other.

4:27 pm

Yum, you just reminded me of my spaghetti casserole recipe that will be a welcome respite from turkey in a few days.

4:29 pm

I am looking forward to leftovers, that is if there are any after the boys take some home

4:30 pm

That looks good Mom. Mine is similar but has kind of a mexican twist to it. Jack cheese and some peppers are involved.

4:34 pm

4:34 pm

4:34 pm

((Hugs)) to all of you

4:35 pm

4:38 pm

4:39 pm

there are two t6 words that just have a different second letter, kap

what is the not-th 6. A ta?

4:39 pm

i wanna come to your house, crossy

I mean a te?

4:40 pm

te6/24 just extend the te4/5

4:41 pm

or te6/24 past tense of te4/5

I had that one- so I am not sure what I am missing.

4:42 pm

oh bugger there's also a th6 what we are giving on thursday

I think I have to go to lickety to figure out which is which.

is there an s6?

4:43 pm

there are four s6 words

4:43 pm

I have them. What the h...

4:44 pm

4:48 pm

sa + letter + *** end of the film

4:48 pm

believe it or not i only have one left to go, an m5

end of the film???

4:48 pm

I think it's because we are used to talking in two letters, like sa 6's and st 6's...not just s6's.

4:49 pm

like the words that cross the screen before the credits: "*** End"

4:49 pm

and the third letter is a vowel, kap

5:27 pm

5:38 pm

Thank you MollyL. We wish all of our Babble friends around the world the best for you are truly a group of people we are thankful for.

5:39 pm

Adding my gratitude for the Babble Family. What a fine group. I'm glad to be a part of it.

5:40 pm

a joyous and warm thanksgiving to all my american babble friends...

5:41 pm

ty crosshair, are you again sitting outside of the pb?

5:42 pm

Gran Mere, last time I checked, he was in the PB with warm corn bread, a slab of butter and Misty Jack on ice.

5:44 pm

ohh just found the slabs of cow for the bbq st 5 /18 and 6/30:)

5:44 pm

I think the pb sounds too comfy. Well, we must take our comfort where we can.

Hello. I am done I am just ducking in to ask if any one sees GrannyRose let her know that I have lost all my phone number (I am going to email her too)

5:45 pm

All of your phone numbers? Oh, that is too distressing!

5:45 pm

it is ok stidmere,i am easily satisfied with the very best;)))

5:45 pm

Hi herin...

All. It is on my other phone. That phone is refusing to Unlock. Not sure it if is a softwear issue or just being a pain in my arse. I am using the same phone but one model down.

Hi Back

woohoo. Seems me being very neat and paranoid payed off.

5:53 pm

So, the aliens who locked your phone were weirded out by neatness and left?

O no Stid that phone is currently in the box being charged. i just hunted through my PC and saw I backed it up last year.So hopefully I have only lost a few new numbers

5:55 pm

Hooray for backups!

I know. now all I have to do is find the leads and have my phone talk to my computer. It is a Samsung nothing flash. How I miss the dial only phones

5:58 pm

I love my land line. I'll never get rid of it. I only carry a cell phone to stay in contact with my son and for emergencies.

5:58 pm

crossy is just starting to peek with extreme caution into the smartphones

5:59 pm

Eep, that makes it sound like I have only one son. I have three. But I meant my youngest son.

I have no land line

evening all

Crossie don't do it

GanJ Hi I haven't seen you for an age

5:59 pm

i will dump my land line with nary a thought as soon as i can get a good smartphone voice and data plan

6:00 pm

Hi, gandj

6:00 pm

howdy g&j

6:01 pm

i am in the midst of a 2 year phone net cable thing with rogers and by then the smart phone wars should be over

thought i would while away a bit of time

I refuse to get into the whole internet on the phone apart from the free stuff my company offers

someone having phone problems?

we are a bit techy here herein we are all iphoned up in our family. but no good for playing babbly ;o)

Me. My Sumsang Refuses to unlock. Even after I hit the off button

strange indeed, have you googled it?

6:03 pm

maybe pop and reinsert the battery to clear the phone

good idea cross, will reset it I would of thought

Haven't thought of that GJ and Crossie did that

i ususally google everything i get stuck on, only ever failed me once

6:05 pm

god bless internet tech blogs;)

I didn't even think of that

GJ I was thinking of taking it apart I have ZERO Patience

I am lucky, eldest son very technically minded and fiance patience of a saint so usually one of them bails me out because I really don;t have much patience either unless its with kids

I have patience, A bigger hammer ALWAYS solves an issue. If that fails duc tape

as my uncle says, first step of non working items is a thump or a kick lol

Damn Skippy

6:13 pm

hey all - can anyone clue the as6 please and thank you

6:13 pm

I have such great respect for the women who came before me when I prepare for Thanksgiving. The colonial women who figured out how to mix pumpkin and spices and blend them all into delicious pies. And who figured out how to properly season a turkey. I really enjoy this preparation for Thanksgiving time. Okay, back to cell phone talk now. : P

6:14 pm

Hi, aknitter!

6:14 pm

my dad always told me if it moves and should not,use duct tape,if it does not move and it should,use wd-40

6:14 pm

as + philosopher's name

6:14 pm

hi jell

6:14 pm

as * famous religious philosopher.

good thing to be thankful for molly, I have never had pumkin pie, must remedy that some day

6:15 pm

as * variant spelling of not able to do.

6:15 pm

Cross, I adhere to your Dad's religion regarding duct tape and WD40.

6:15 pm

ammmm, not exactly up on my religious philosophers LOL

hi stid, didn't see you there

6:15 pm

Never had pumpkin pie? I shall bundle up my spices and bring a can of pumpkin the next time I'm in Jolly Old England.

6:15 pm

ty stidgmere - that was a clue i can understand

Molly Yes thank you to yummy Pumpkin Pie

6:16 pm

G&J, I make pumpkin cheesecake pie. A layer of cheesecake on the bottom, a layer of pumpkin on the top. My kids would disown me if it were not available for Thanksgiving dessert.

Canned Pumpkin????? Faints

6:16 pm

I've been focused on finding the words on the grid. With only 85 words I felt it was imperative to complete the grid as Stidmama did it first thing this morning.

6:16 pm

tosses mattress to catch herin as she swoons

6:17 pm

Well, I don't think they will let me bring a pumpkin through the airport screening lines. Just think how it would how up on the xray machines they use now?

that sounds great. my kids would kill for my cheesecake, what spices go into pumkin for this sort of thing?

6:17 pm

Herin, I have no patience for making a real pumpkin into the puree I need for pie. I tried it one year and it was abysmal.

Seriously Canned pumpkin? I have seen it but really

6:17 pm

i would be a dead man if i did not make my yorkshire pudding

6:17 pm

Cinnamon, cloves (some people say don't use these), nutmeg, and ginger.

Surely it can't be hard right?

6:18 pm

Oh, I love yorkshire pudding! I shall make some tonight since you have brought it up into memory.

6:18 pm

I use what Gran Mere uses, minus the cloves. It's a matter of what you are used to. I use cloves in my holiday potpourri though. And orange rind.

so like christmas spices for christmas cake

6:18 pm

hi folks

6:18 pm

Must go accomplish some things...BBL...Happy hunting and chatting, all!

6:18 pm

not a fan of pumpkin here

6:19 pm

it is a must stidmere!

6:19 pm

Yes, exactly, garyandjulie, but is Christmas cake like a fruit cake?

6:19 pm

Oh my, I haven't had Yorkshire in years. What wonderful stuff.

know what you ean cross, i nearly had full meltdown from youngest 2 sundays ago by not making them for sunday roast. they are fantastic

6:19 pm

By jellen.

6:19 pm

pumpkin pie, yorkshire pudding ... when do we eat?!

See you guys use what we call Cow Pumpkins. Feed to cows and not eaten. Which is a shame

6:19 pm

fruit cake! gawd does anyone really et that??

6:19 pm

eat that even

6:20 pm

<-- likes christmas pudding, too

yes stid, fruit cake you steep the fruit in acohol or tea or orange juice before making the cake

6:20 pm

No Herin, actually it is recommended that if you are going to go the whole, make it from scratch route, that you use the smaller, sugar pumpkins.

6:20 pm

You don't have my recipe aknitter. It is pineapple, pecans, and candied cherries. Soooo good.

we traditionally make them in october and feed them a tablespoon of something like brandy once a week wrapped up well and marzipan and ice it in december, or i do

Ak easy Get Fruit cake Crumb it, put it with rum roll into balls and dip in chocolate

I made a christmas pudding Sunday:o) wasn't allowed to put a sixpence in it this year though

6:21 pm

Well, I shall go check that I have enough eggs for yorkshire pudding tonight. Maybe it will atone for the corn bread earlier in the day.

6:21 pm

well now herin that might be better

6:21 pm

I would walk across the country to sample Gran Mere's fruitcake. No kidding.

6:22 pm

i tried to make sponge toffee on sunday .. abysmal results

I like fruit cake. Miss my grannies. Miss Nanas Welsh cakes too

fruit cake either you love it or hate it, but I converted many when i made sons christening cake

6:22 pm

do the yorkie in a old muffin tin stidmere it is the best to ado a whole bunch of little ones

I can cook pretty much most things but sponges forget it.

6:22 pm

but will try again this weekend .. lesson #1 (if no candy thermometer): dark amber is garbage .. only cook until light amber

6:22 pm

Well, I shall bid adieu for now and start the fireplace. It is cooling down from our high of 25F and is a solid 22F outside now. MollyL, I'll save some for your.

is that where you cook it and get sponge on top and toffee sauce underneath?

6:23 pm

save it for you or for your visit whichever occurs first.

6:23 pm

22F? it's -22C here!

night stid, take care

Bye Stid

6:23 pm

tc stidmere

6:23 pm

eat a sponge?

6:23 pm

nooooo, garyand, it's candy ... i think you mean sticky toffee pudding

its 27c Here

6:24 pm

Crossy, Ill use the muffin tin as you suggest. Take care.

6:24 pm

i have ancient popover cups that i use for yorkshire puddings

sort of but no

I have to make a chocolate cake for my besty

6:24 pm

then you'll have to come over when i perfect the recipe, garyandjulie

6:24 pm

are popovers and yorkshire pudding the same? waiting for the laughter

my lot love toad in the hole to, sausages browned then the yorshire pudding batter cooked around it

6:25 pm

i cook them with a dab ob bacon grease to lube the muffin tin then on a high heat quickly that way they go hollow in the middle....yummers.....

GJ do you use lard with that?

I'll bring some of my shortbread then welki

AK similar

6:25 pm

essentially the same, aknitter .. yorkshires are made with beef dripping (or some other sort of fat)

Lard works best but i use vegetable oil these days

6:26 pm

mmmmm, shortbread *getting rounder by the minute*

fireworks, been monkying that ka 4 for last 10 minutes lol

I don't make it often, family arrive if kids happen to let slip I am making it lol

6:27 pm

Oh man, I haven't made toad in the hole in years.

My Aunt makes it with lard

or if youve got duck fat mmmmmm

only trouble is i had to stop that as eldest son went vegetarian start of thos year

6:28 pm

bacon fat works amazing;)

6:28 pm

i'm getting ready to toss the fish i have in the oven .. shortbread, yorkshires, pumpkin pie .. who needs fish!

time for a revival molly

never thought of that cross!

RIght I have to and get the stupid washing done.

6:29 pm

I fully expect lard to be in the grid tomorrow. Eva started the lard talk this morning discussing her Dad's roasted potato recipe. Now it's been in the chog this evening. I get a gold star if I'm right and EVERYONE may use the word lard in the chog, PB free.

good luck with it herein take care

6:30 pm

i save back strained bacon fat for things like that as well as a dab in the pan for tasty fry ups

Bye

6:30 pm

duck fat, bacon fat, back fat -- ewww

I am going to start saving mine now, bacon always a good thing

6:31 pm

fat is good.

amazing roast potatoes with duck fat though, very crispy but doesn't taste much of duck

these fats no worse than using butter

6:32 pm

just the sound of it....

6:32 pm

ok .. we'll call them **renderings** :)

6:32 pm

that is much better LOL

6:33 pm

we can call it 'squeezins" if you wish;))

6:33 pm

snickering

giggling here

6:34 pm

Not to kill anyone's love for doughnuts, but the really good ones, are...yes...fried in lard.

6:34 pm

lalalala - not listening

6:35 pm

but of course molly

oh molly, now I am craving fresh home made doughnuts;o)

6:35 pm

It's better that way AKnit. Think of doughnuts as fried in magical weight reduction emulsion.

And I am out all day tomorrow *sighs*

6:37 pm

our george in here would be horrfied and call it "flesh drippings" lol

6:37 pm

doughnuts and weight reduction... interesting concept

but if you deep fry properly things aren't full of fat and more healthy than shallow fried i have been told

6:38 pm

last me 5 please

6:38 pm

it is all in the proper temerature

6:39 pm

temperature

me + old word for it is beginning with t

_ _ _ the season to be jolly

6:40 pm

falalalalalala

I am rubbish at clues sorry

6:40 pm

ty

6:41 pm

it was a great clue - i found the word! lol

I am hoping to be able to hear the youngest carol singing next year :O)

yw

6:41 pm

i like christmas carols

I have my cochlear assessment tests tomorrow so I am kind of hyped and can't sleep. like a kid waiting for christmas

6:43 pm

that would be very cool - i will cross my fingers

6:43 pm

aah the ear implant?

I sing them in middle of year when supermarkets get to busy, found if I start singing jingle bells people think i am nuts and move out the way lol

that's the one cross.

been fully deaf 18 years now and they have just let me be assessed for one

6:44 pm

you must be quite excited

thanks aknitter, i have 3 kids and only ever heard the first one until she was 2

6:46 pm

may i ask how you lost your hearing - no need to answer if you'd rtaher not

6:46 pm

that will be quite the event,hearing your kids for the first time;)

I am all over the place, initial tests found i probably had high enough percentage to have an implant so put me forward, will know by 14th december if I can have one

boys are almost 18 and 8 and i would give almost anything to be able to hear them so hopefully I will eventually.

6:47 pm

G&J, big, huge good wishes coming your way regarding the implant. I recently saw a video of a deaf baby hearing his mother's voice for the first time via implant and it made me cry happy tears.

6:48 pm

my daughter is in college studying to be a speech pathologist. she has been learning sign - her instructors are both deaf. her goal is to become fluent and to translate

I was reading the info they gave me monday and i was almost crying reading the stories of people who had had it done. Thanks molly

We don't sign as such as I am pretty good at lipreading, but we do more 'family' sign if we get stuck. Had deaf friends who could sign but I really couldn't keep up. good luck to your daughter. It's a wanderful thing to know

6:50 pm

Ah, we take so much for granted, you know? I can't imagine not knowing what my kids sound like. Big prayers out for G&J's Christmas miracle.

6:50 pm

oooh, GandJ, keeping you in my t's and p's for successful assessment!

6:51 pm

she is most impressed with her instructors. in addition to learning sign they have provide an insight into what it is like to be deaf.

thank you ibd

6:51 pm

hey dawg!

6:51 pm

hiya ak!

It's not an easy thing for people to understand.

6:51 pm

hi everyone!

6:52 pm

i've worked with a lot of deaf and hard of hearing adults. it's amazing how the cochlear implant has changed their lives. we still sign to each other when the noise level it too much tho.

I get so sick of being treated as if I am stupid or people not talking to me at playground at school because they are worried I might not understand them.

6:54 pm

yup, talking slowly or louder than necessary to get a message across...so embarrassing

6:55 pm

evening all ;)

6:55 pm

hi pini!

6:55 pm

hey lbd!

6:55 pm

hi pini

My daughter a manager at KFC, I dropped her off one day and popped in for popcorn chicken for the youngest ( rare treat) one of the girls started shouting at me slowly. I have never seen my daughter move so fast in telling her off. Apparently had staff in eeting at end of shift with how to talk talk to a deaf person bless her

6:55 pm

hiya aknitter ;)

hi pini

6:56 pm

hiya jules!

6:57 pm

* catching up on interesting conversation *

6:58 pm

I learned conversational Sign (SEE), but since I didn't/don't know anyone who's deaf, I've lost a lot of it...wish it was more commonplace so more people understood it's not necessary to yell, etc...

6:58 pm

bless her indeed! there are two of us at the bookstore who sign. and when our deaf customers come in everyone is always hollering for one of us to help them. We've both told the other workers that if they can't sign they can write their questions down on paper. sheesh, it's not like these customers can't read! doh

Can tell christmas is coming by ads on tv, son and i on look out for coca cola ad everyone else has seen it apart from us

6:59 pm

don't watch enough tv to know about a lot of commercials.

hi all. imagine my surprise on finding my first word. (hint: i usually start in the lower right corner)

6:59 pm

I used to have to translate when I worked at the courthouse and was once put on standby for the courtroom...gads...did I about have a heart attack on that one! Did I say conversational Sign? I think I did...panic city when it came to signing before a court!!!

lol, mind boggles sometimes ibd, simple pen and paper works everytime

6:59 pm

(I found that same one, gwen!!!) ROFL

hi doctor

7:00 pm

hi gwen

was first one i found to

7:00 pm

*blushing* almost missed that one!

scary stuff pini

7:01 pm

Suffice it to say I was VERY relieved when the interpreter finally showed up...just in the nick of time!

7:01 pm

ugh - missing 1 S and 1 D

7:01 pm

i could never interpret, i'm way too slow and use too many short cuts. My friends tease me about having an accent!

want a clue?

7:02 pm

i am in the service industry as well and we have many hard of hearing and deaf customers,and i must take extra care to keep my moustache neatly trimmed and not allow it to grow over my top lip to make it easier to lip read

7:02 pm

I sooooo know what you mean, lbd!!!

7:02 pm

hiya crossy! :)

7:02 pm

i would love one.... sh 6/30 please

7:02 pm

<-- glad I don't have to trim my 'stache!

7:02 pm

bringing in the sh6s

7:03 pm

hi crossy. my deaf students use to complain about certain instructors with facial hair. and trying to explain that to the instructor...OI

strange thing is i can lipread accents and 9 times out of 10 tell you what the accent is and where they're from

7:03 pm

ty pini - found it

7:03 pm

or sh + roof edge

7:03 pm

Nice, Jules!! (it is julie isn't it?)

top row all done, woot!

7:03 pm

wtg gwen!!!! LOL

7:03 pm

lol gwen

7:03 pm

de 6 for the win please

7:03 pm

I know most of my alphabet in sign language, and the I Love You sign. I figure that's a good start.

7:04 pm

de6 = speak down to

my Dad used to have a moutache for years and I struggled, he only shaved it off this year because his girlfriend didn't like it! lol

7:04 pm

oh good lordy - pass the fish

7:04 pm

de6, not nice

7:04 pm

i find if i keep it just at the top lip line it is ok for most

more than most people know molly

hi all

long as the lips are visible is usually ok cross

7:05 pm

howdy T.O

7:05 pm

hi TO

OMG sorry

7:05 pm

Molly, from my experience, very appreciated by hearing impaired to know that you've taken the time to make even that simple effort ;)

hi t o

7:05 pm

hi TO

second row all done, woot! (no, really)

7:06 pm

nice, gwen! you're on a roll!

7:06 pm

book you are cruisin...

(squashed the roll and got onto a loaf of sesame seed bread instead)

we went to a ceramics event for kids to paint their own over last school holidays, youngest taught instruster to sign thank you and she remembered it for when we picked up his plate and cat. was so impressed she took the time

7:07 pm

very cool, jules!

7:07 pm

too funny, gwen :)

7:07 pm

Here's a sad story. My company was dealing with another company that specialized in operators who translated for the deaf via phone. We just found out he was bilking government grants for disability and is up on charges. How wrong is that?

hi pini gj knot

7:08 pm

oh, so very wrong, molly!!!

youngest basically knows sign as his dad taught him and still uses it sometimes as he has deaf aunt nd uncle who signs

glad to hear they cought the bastard, molly!

gee we are having interpreter issues at work also

7:08 pm

hi TO

disgusting and so wrong

7:09 pm

Greed is a terrible thing. Our guy who went to estimate work there wondered why the offices were so lavish.

7:09 pm

any loverly bakers in here?

when my brother got married, they had two interpreters, one for audience and one for everyone up on the stage. 3 of the participants were deaf. plus the minister was missing an ear

7:09 pm

count me out, cos :(

i bake. but not cheaply ;)

7:09 pm

Molly - I know one of the people who were charged in the VRS scheme. I went to college with him

7:10 pm

bake things from box mixes does that count?

7:10 pm

oh my, gwen! nice that they had everyone covered!

they had them at ex's nans funeral. Always think it's amazing to watch and have a lot of respect for them

7:10 pm

I am NOT surprised. He totally seemed the type.

you baked it it counts pini

7:10 pm

I'm not speaking ill of the Deaf since I am myself btw

boxes don't always work for people. never did for my mum

7:11 pm

I put stuff in the oven, not sure I'd consider it baking tho...

7:11 pm

ok anyway my question is --- what other easy apple dessert can I make instead of a pie?

rustic tar. crip. cobbler

7:11 pm

apple crisp?

7:11 pm

Nah.

TART

7:11 pm

7:11 pm

8:21 pm

Hello everyone! Happy Thanksgiving!!!

9:59 pm

JIlly, how many procedures are you doing tomorrow? (Last thing I'd want is a "scope the day before Turkey day!)

9:59 pm

There was a story on yahoo about it. I think the BF thought I was being parenaoid when I suggested that the palin was calling in favors. Turns out there are a lot of others who believe the same thing>

9:59 pm

10:46 pm

Hah - I don't feel retired. Just tired.

10:46 pm

Both of us (friends) cook turkeys as our families would riot if there weren't leftovers

10:47 pm

Both my older and younger sisters are retired. I still like my job; though; so I don't think I'm ready to retire yet. I just wish I had more energy these days

10:48 pm

He has requested ; candies sweets, mashed whites, pumpkin oie and cherry pie.

10:48 pm

Well Nef, so would I ...but it seems my hospital is trying to get rid of us older nurses that make the big $$....

10:48 pm

10:54 pm

Min, on my Mac there's a preference list that shows where you add or subtract extra toolbars

10:54 pm

know nothing

10:54 pm

I am on my Dell laptop, but I will look for preferences.

10:55 pm

I had that happen once on google but realised I had hit an f key. Never figured out which one

10:55 pm

the other place might be under the View button?

10:56 pm

at&t u-verse has added a new dimension of wonky!

10:57 pm

I hate to play and run; but I need to be up in 5 hours and am fading fast

10:57 pm

I think I did that too hootowl. I hit an F key and then I said the F word. This extra tool bar is so annoying!

10:58 pm

that's allowed - go to bed! Good night

10:58 pm

Goodbye Nef! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log!

10:58 pm
